Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Tennis-inspired fashion is having a moment. Owing, in part, to one of the most pulse-racingly good films of the year so far (we’re looking at you Challengers), and now, with pre-Wimbledon excitement hanging in the air (get your strawberries and cream at the ready), you won’t be the only one with the tennis-core bug.
Inspired by the athletic, quiet luxury that we saw sported so well in the film, along with the buzz following the outfits of the Challengers’ press tour (Zendaya’s heels skewering tennis balls springs to mind), it’s no wonder tennis attire – think pleated skirts, polo shirts, caps and tennis dresses – has become one of the latest athleisure trends.
But, if you’re planning on picking up a racket, you’ll want your activewear to perform as well as you do. For this, Myprotein’s collection should be on your radar. In particular, the women’s tempo tennis dress is acing the trend. Here’s what you need to know about the strappy-back dress.

A fashion serve both on and off the court, the tempo tennis dress is also equipped for your next match. While we haven’t worn the dress out on the court ourselves, it should be cool thanks to the strappy back design.
It features built-in shorts, and a dual split detail in the front to allow for more easy movement while you play. Winning points for practicality, there’s also a side pocket which you can use to store your phone. With princess seams to flatter, it’s available in both black and white colourways.
